If you've suffered an injury following a slip, trip or fall you may be able to claim. Our injury
solicitors can help you to get the compensation you deserve.
An accident does not always arise out of a car crash or while at work. Many times, a pothole on
a road can be the reason for your injury.
Whether you slipped on a slippery surface or tripped over a stud protruding out of the pavement,
you may still be able to claim compensation for your injuries. Our personal injury experts will
guide you through the process of making a compensation claim for injuries sustained during a
trip or fall.
Slips and trips usually take place on surfaces that are wet or slippery. In the workplace, this
is normally due to the negligence of the supervisor who is responsible for the cleaning and
maintenance of the office.
Whenever maintenance or janitorial work is being carried out within an office, it is the duty of
the supervising authority to make sure that the proper signs are in place to avoid injuries. The
appropriate signs indicate a wet surface or maintenance work that is being carried out on the
floor or in a particular section of office space.
Accidents which occur due to a company not following the appropriate safety measures mean that
the victim who has been unfortunate enough to get injured is able to claim compensation for
their injuries from the company.
There are generally two categories of slip and trip accidents that factors in the decision-making process of exactly how much compensation a victim is entitled to get, they are:
General damages such as loss of amenity
The amount of compensation will be assessed according to the type of injury and the extent to which that injury affects the victim's work and life. Other factors also include the estimated time of recovery and the duration of any further medical treatment if needed.
Out-of-pocket expenses
These expenses normally include loss of earnings, as well as physiotherapy or rehabilitation. In serious cases, loss of future salary, pension, and inability to carry on working indefinitely are also factors that are considered when estimating a slip and trip compensation.
